Chicago Cubs put Anderson on DL, call up Grimm and LaStella

As expected, the Chicago Cubs made more roster moves today. The first was placing LHP Brett Anderson on the 10-day DL with a lower back strain. After Anderson had been removed from the game yesterday, it was widely speculated that he would be placed on the disabled list.

Anderson, 29, has had a rough start to his Cubs career. In six starts, he is 2-2 with a whopping 8.18 ERA in just 22 innings pitched. The bloated ERA comes mainly from his last two starts, in which he has allowed 12 earned runs in just 1.
